The development will allow the City to work towards its established goals of: <br />a. Supporting a diverse population with a diverse housing stock; <br />b.

Developing specifically targeted “potential areas of improvement;” <br />d. Creating new development that utilizes traditional neighborhood design principals such as <br />on-street parking, pedestrian friendly streetscapes, and multi-storied, mixed use <br />development; <br />e. Creating safe streets by introducing a traffic signal to the intersection of 8th Avenue & Old <br />Highway 8, by adding pedestrian bump outs along 8th Avenue to make crossing easier and <br />to slow down traffic, and by introducing many more sidewalks and trails to the area which <br />will connect to other city destinations; <br />f. Providing a much needed mix of new market rate units, affordable senior units at 60% <br />AMI, and affordable workforce housing units also at 60% AMI; <br />g. Providing a new neighborhood park for this development and the surrounding residents to <br />enjoy; <br />3. The proposed Final PRD plans and final plat are in substantial compliance with the approved <br />Preliminary PRD and associated conditions of approval listed in Resolution 2019-049: <br />a. The proposed final plan has not increased the approved residential density within Phase <br />I of the project; <br />b. No non-residential uses are proposed; <br />c. Open space areas are compliant with the approved Preliminary PRD; <br />d. All conditions are either met, or can be addressed moving forward via further conditions <br />placed on Final PRD approval.
